Wailua Municipal Golf Course

Friendly restaurant and bar. Enjoyed Cheryl our hostess and bar tender. Course is located right off the highway so easy access. Didn’t play but will be back. Course is nicely maintained with several holes looking over the ocean.

Fabulous bang-​for-​buck course. Not particularly hard, put, you have to play your ball to score well. Very laid-​back atmosphere and easy to get on as a single or two-​some. Tee Times recommended, but, they do try to accommodate all comers.
Quirky in that you pay for your golf at one window, but, there is a separate concession for your cart, range balls, or rental clubs. And the concessions for the bar area and snack shop are also separate. Only a minor inconvenience, but, be sure to allow for the extra time if you need all those different services.
Course condition was pretty nice for this price ($ 45 during week & $ 24 after 2:00). Bargain! If it takes you 4 hours to play, you’re holding people up. I walked every time and averaged 3:20 for the rounds never feeling rushed, or, held up. personally, a big deal for me.

Golf course was great, below average service

Very beautiful course! Staff was really friendly too. Only downside was no alcohol on the course. VERY reasonable price as well! I would recommend this course to everyone.

My husband & I had the pleasure of golfing this course. It is pretty & well maintained with nice views of the ocean. Everyone was friendly except the guys in the pro shop. They were neither friendly or helpful. It’s sad that the other more pricey courses on Kauai sit vacant because of their high rates.

Best bang for the buck for golfing on Kauai, only thing is early mornings On the weekends are pretty full. Afternoons usually open up and great views without the resort prices.

Found out the hard way the morning hours are for the hardcore golfers. Golf staff was super friendly. A new proshop just opened up this past Sunday.
I’ll try coming back next time I’m out here during late afternoon or twilight hours ;)

Great views… fairways in very good shape. Greens a bit shaggy. Very good bang for the buck…17 is a very good signiture hole…

4 stars for the price. It’s cheap to play especially if your from here and the course is pretty nice. The only bad part is with a cheap course comes cheap players. Sucks waiting on people that don’t move!

Another Municipal Course to check off my list. After driving by this course many, many times, I finally played it.
Driving Range is a short one. About 200 yards long, hitting towards the beach. At least they have a driving range. Some Municipal course do not have a range. They have 2 practice putting area’s that are very well kept.
I was told by an «Old Timer» that back in the days this course was one of the Top 25 in the Country, and even served as a qualifying course for the US Open.
Golf Course:
Greens were real nice for a Municipal course.
Service:
Okay. Nothing to write home about.
Atmosphere:
Sometimes spacious, and some times it feels real narrow.
Price:
Can’t beat $ 30.00 for 18 holes, an electric cart and a great kept course.
Parking:
Parking is limited. They need more parking.

My husband really wanted to play golf on our honeymoon. Who am I to stop him? :) The weather was beautiful so we trekked over there around 9 in the morning. We had to stop by Hanalima Baking and Walmart before we got to the golf course to get breakfast and golf balls (and candy for me).
There wasn’t a fee to let me ride for freeeee! Thank you Wailua. However, since my husband was playing by himself he had to wait to make a twosome, threesome, or foursome.
We didn’t wait too long when they said they found a couple of guys for him.
The scenery was beautiful! I just sat back and took pictures of everything. I think I took a million pictures on the 17^th hole. The ocean view was breathtaking. If there weren’t people waiting I think I would’ve just stayed there for hours.
The only negative thing was kind of a big one. Our golf cart had really sticky brakes. When we were going down an incline on the 10^th hole, the brakes didn’t work and we almost crashed into our partner’s golf cart. I had to swerve up into the right side to save our lives.
eeeeeeeek
But they switched our carts no prob and had no other problems!

This course is a great! The course is laid out very well. Not overly hilly so it is walkable. The first two holes are played along the ocean which reminds you that you’re on an island vacation. The course is long. I played from the white tees and there were quite a few par fours over 400 yards and one par 3 at 226 yards! The fairways & greens are in great condition, probably from all the rain they get. Bring an umbrella, even if it rains its playable because it drains well. They’ve raised their prices recently to $ 60 weekday & $ 70 weekend which is still a bargain here. Twilight rates start at 3pm which is half of the days regular rate. Be aware cash only! I wish I could have played it twice!

The course is pretty, but the service sucks.
My Dad is a resident here and he was denied the kamaaina rate of $ 20 because his ID card wasn’t a driver’s license and he didn’t vote in the last election here. The lady seemed pretty peeved at us for that. So, we paid the $ 70 each. Then, we found out that each player needs to have his/​her own bag. My boyfriend and I combined our clubs into one bag to save on baggage for the flight over. So, I had to lug around 2 sets of clubs on the course because I had to rent a club set for the bag. Then, I couldn’t believe they didn’t have a beverage cart. We’re in Hawaii and it’s hot. Thankfully there were drinking fountains every few holes with lukewarm water.
Next time, we’re playing somewhere else.

You gotta love this place. Muni golf to the core but with ocean views. The vibe in the clubhouse is legit. It costs 60 bucks though for non residents during prime time and 30 at twilight. The course gets a lot of play from the locals so that is something to consider. Pace of play can be slow and I advise walking. If you’re not from a coastal area, you can’t beat the price for ocean golf.
